    Primus 1003 marked W (1932). The Primus 1003 is really just a Primus 1001 with a large tank and the lamp housing with protective grille.

    Today there are 7 known 1003, all from 1932. The top is from another 1001 from the same time period.

    The tank holds 3.4 liters/6 Pints and Primus promises a burning time of 20-25 hours with 2.3 Liter/4 Pints kerosene in the tank.
